fold.

fold. is a field recording taken from the inside of a flock of thousands of cranes. It starts with the rustling of a single bird and slowly grows into a swooping wave. “fold.” reanimates the ancient tradition of senbazuru, the act of folding a thousand origami cranes; which promises to make any wish come true. It explores the sonic potential of paper in interaction with repetitive human gestures and their tangible surroundings. A swelling cloud of perpetual motion, of buried clues with an infinity of possibilities waiting to be discovered. A listening environment inviting your curious ears and adventurous minds to inhabit.
